Platinum Jubilee
The Winners:
Thank-you to everyone who took part in our Hurst Treasure Hunt over the Jubilee weekend. We hope you enjoyed the challenge!
Most of the clues were correctly solved by at least one team, and although there were a few that left you all stumped, there were some very creative and inventive alternative answers!
Our congratulations go to the top four teams:
  • Hurstborn! - first overall, and the highest scores in sections 2, 3 and 4
  • The Denley's - a fine second place, including the highest score for section 1
  • Si & Nic - a valiant third place, with some high scores in the picture clues
  • Buttercup Babes - rounding off the top four, helped by some of the highest scores in the picture clues, and joint first place in the cryptic questions in section 3
Well done to everyone who competed!
